Depends how you define "small-medium" - but if you already have the hardware just do a test.
Install zimbra, create as many accounts as you need and use some scripts to stress the system.

If you can provide user count, percentage of each type of connections (web vs pop/imap vs MAPI), current mailbox sizes, and estimated message count we can provide you a good evaluation of the hardware.
